Water Work.Honolulu, Oct. 24, 1885. 48 iwItV.1IOUS.HiThere have been Various rumorsafloat lor the last two or three days asto a position the Government has takenor intends to take on the Hawaiian silverquestion. It is stated that this position,whatever it may turn out to be,will directly affect the payment oftaxes. It is further rumored that the'position of the Government will bebased upon a demand that they arecompelled to collect the taxes in eithergold or in silver certificates. Nothingcan be said upon the question, as itwill appear in its new form, until it isknown just what new phase it willassume.The people generally, and the largebusiness firms of these Islands, whorepresent the, bulk of the taxes of theKingdom, are naturally somewhat anxiousto know just what the new position.w. .f U.r5..rtirvn tr tllic lll(.rmn MriUbe. It is but just and proper that thetax-payers sliould be informed, as soonas posible, as the time for the paymentof taxes is coming apace.To avoid all chance of charges oeingbrought against the Government, as toits motives in starting such rumors andto clear away the coloring of politicalpretext that is already attaching itselfto the actions of those in power, wedeem it not improper to call on theGovernment to make an explicit statement, " by authority," as to the position it intends to take and the reasonsfor it provided always, of course, thata new step is contemplated.From the disclosures made by someof the American newspapers, it seemsthat England is not the only countrywhich has the dishonor of a criminaltraffic in the virtue of young girls,entailed upon it. We may prate of thePall Mall Gazettes exposures as welike from a mock-modest standpoint,but certain it is, that, disgusting anddistasteful as they are, they have beenthe means of causing other nations topry open their dens of infamy. In thecase of America, the authorities havebecome informed of the growing evilbefore it has reached the systematicproportions of, the London crime.Oneofthebeslevidencesofthehealthymoral tone of Honolulu foreign societyis to be seen in the Sunday influencesexerted by our churches. A strangerfirst observes the strong and'generaltendency of the church elements ofHonolulu society upon the tone ofpublic morality at least as far as itaffects the foreign population. In onesense church-going and church-amusements in Honolulu take the place ofthe "worldy recreations " which are thesocial drawback and moral curse ofmost cities.Several officers, acting under orderfrom the Hoard of Health attempted toseperate, last Friday morning at Kalawao, Molokai, the children of a leprouscouple from their parents.

A large crowd hadassembled in front of the building previousto the opening of the Court, buta heavy rain set in and they scatteredto places of shelter. The prisonerspleaded not guilty. Sir Richard E.Webster, Attorney-General, open thecase for the Crown. His address coveredthe same ground as that of Mr.Poland. Justice Lopes held that nomotives, no matter how worthy theirobject, were sufficient to justify thetaking of a child without her parents'consent, and If it had been obtainedin a fraudulent manner it was not con-sentin the eyes of the law. Theof the witnesses so far is merelya repetition of the evidence given at thepreltmanary examination. Eliza Armstrongtestified fully and clearly. Thetrial will probably last one week. Thedefendants arc chaged with misdemeanorinstead of felony, so as toenable them to testify in their own behalfand be liberated on bail duringthe progress of the trial.THE TORV CAMPAIGN..Birmingham, October 23. LordRandolph Churchill opened the campaignin the town hall here to-day inthe presence of a crowded and enthusiasticaudience, which wasthroughout, but generally favorablyto the SDcaker.Japanese Laborers in the SandwichIslands.To the Editor of the London 2'imesSir; My attention has been called toa paragraph in The Times of yesterday,referring to alleged cruelties to Japaneselaborers in the Sandwich Islands.Having just returned from Honolulu,and being deeply intrested in the subjectof Hawaiian immigration, I trustyou will permit me to say that theaccount given by the correspondent ofthe New York inbuilt is grossly exaggerated.Consideiable jealously exists on thepart of the sugar refiners of the EasternStates concerning the ReciprocityTreaty between the United States andthe Hawaiian Kingdom, which confersupon the sugar refiners of California asubstantial advantage j ahd, withoutdesiring to impute motives, I may sayfrom experience that anything detrimentalto the character of the Hawaiiansugar industries is generally paintedn the strongest colors by theof the-Eastern press.During my stay in Honolulu lastJuly a report reached the authoritiesthat some difficulty had arisen with thelaborers on a plantation in the island ofMaui, and that cruelties were allegedto have been practiced on a numberuf the Japanese. Without delay aninvestigation was ordered, at which theJapanese Commissioner and Consul,the latter being the resident protectorol Japanese laborers pn the island werepresent, It was discoverer.) that someinstances of oppression had tokenplace, and in consequence the laborersivere promptly removed from the plan'41mL' '?te, U X iJtkiDAILY HONOLULU PRESS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1885.tation in question, but nothing in thenature of cruelties, such as arc desribedin the Tribune correspondent's letterhad had any existence. Suchwould be impossible under theHawaiian labor laws without subjectingthe planter to the most severe penalties,and the Japanese Commissioner expressedhimself perfectly satisfied withthe general condition of his countrymenon the plantstions.I may add that during the past fiveyears I have faciliticd the emigrationof several thousand agricultural laborerfrom the Azores and Madeira to theHawaiian Islands, where they havefound continuous and remunerativeemployment, and have established forthemselves hundreds of properous anhappy homes, but not a single instanceof cruelty or inhumanity on the part ofthe planters or their subordinates hasyet come under my notice. I have before'me a report from the HawaiianConsul at St. Michael's Azores, fromwhich I gather that during the pastyear there have been remitted by theAzorcan emigrants in the HawaiianIslands, to their poor relatives andfriends at home, sums of money savedfrom wages amounting in the aggregateto nearly rrji.ooo sterling per month.I trust to your well kn6wn impartiallyto insert this' communication, and thusremove from the character of the Hawaiianplanters a most unmeritedstigma. I am sir, your obedientservant, Abraham Hoffnung,Commissioner of Emigration in GreatBritain for the Hawaiian Kingdom.36 Sonth Kensington,London, September 29th.llurlal of a Chinese Freemason.Che Leung of Pell street, the firstChinese Freemason who ever diedhere, was buried yesterday on CelestialHill, in the Cemetery of Evergreens,with the full Masonic honors of theChinese lodge in this city.Jlartholdl Pedestal.General Stone, engineer of thepedestal, who has been subjectedto pretty severe criticism from engineersand others on account of the ex-pensivenessof the pedestal, has offeredto serve without salary during the suspensionof active work on Bedloe island this winter.

News maybe looked. for from this country at anymoment of a decisive battle betweenthe rebel Caceres and his followers andthe Government forces. An encounteris inevitable unless Caceres retires tothe interior. If a defeat were sufferedby the Government it would be probablybe fatal to its existence.

A Portuguese threatened tostrike Mr. H. Morrison, one of themanagers of the plantation f thekanakas came to the rescue andpounded the Portucuese so that hehad to be brought into Hilo on astretcher and the unfortunate, into being pounded was fined $2 sarid fjentenced to one month's imprisonment,The Pala.'Affalr.Our Island correspondent writesfrom Hamakuapoko, Maui, as follows:" It would seem that the late tiffthe managers of Paia and HaikuPlantations on the one side and theBoard of Immigration on the other,had resulted, after all, to the great advantageof the plantations. Portugueselabor has been flocking to them constantlyuntil their houses are all fulland still they come. It is the directeffect of the certificate signed by thePortuguese laborers and of privateletters written by them to theirfriends in the other parts of the Islands.The places of the Japanese laborers,who were very troublesome and mostof them poor workers, are now filledwith Portuguese the most satisfactoryof all foreign imported labor. Theplantations have now more than theywant, and if the exodus from Kauaiand Hawaii still continues they willhave to call on their neighbors forassistance in taking care of the familieswhich arrive by every vessel fromHonolulu.
